REVIEW: Dewey Decibel

.:ALBUM REVIEW: Dewey Decibel -- #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM

After I discovered Dewey Decibel with the tracks Met Her in L.A. and Hello Hello, I have to admit I was quite curious about this mixtape but didn't really know what to expect, apart from a constantly crazy flow and witty wordplay, which seem to be some of the MC's trademarks.

It turns out I was not disappointed as #BOOMBOXBOOKWORM is a way for him to showcase his lyrical and technical skills. Nevertheless, despite this curiosity and interest in Dewey Decibel's talent, I was slightly taken aback after the first listen and didn't really know what to make of the project. I persevered though and listened to it again, and again, and again.

INTERVIEW: Eric Lau Exclusive

.:INTERVIEW: Eric Lau -- Word Is Bond Exclusive Interview

After Moka Only and Chief last week, it is now time for London producer Eric Lau to be featured here with a very interesting video interview we recorded at the end of 2011.

First of all, we would like to thank the owner of Guanabana, a wonderful restaurant in Camden, London, for lending his space for the time of the interview and providing such a lovely setting. Not to mention, the food is delicious there! It was also a great pleasure to catch up with Eric and get to meet Simon from Kilawatt, and we are very grateful to both of them for taking some time to chill with us and answer our questions....

PREVIEW: Mecca:83 – Life Sketches Vols 1 & 2 (UK)

MECCA83 LIFESKETCHESVOLS12 PREVIEW: Mecca:83   Life Sketches Vols 1 & 2 (UK)

UK Producer Mecca:83 dropped this preview bomb on us, a full fledged album to be released on the 5th of December, the promo will be out next week though...a few of the tracks can be found on previous posts made right here on WIB. But overall is fresh new work produced and mixed by Mecca:83...sounds are mad original and trippy, perfect for zoning out and unwinding.

Following the success of Life Sketches Vol.1, manchester based producer Mecca:83 returns with a full album of deep instrumental Hip Hop. Spanning 15 tracks, the record exhibits a wide range of styles, filling the gaps between classic Hip Hop production and forward thinking electronic beats.

Featured guests on the album include Grand Ear, Knwldg Highs, Spinnerty, Replife, Emanative and Buscrates 16-Bit Ensemble.

AUDIO: Mecca:83 — Love Story

Preview AUDIO: Mecca:83    Love StoryMecca:83 - Love Story

After the release of the amazing The Life Skectches EP a little while ago, Manchester based producer Mecca:83 (aka Rise) comes back to offer a beautiful sonic gem entitled Love Story. The single lives up to the expectations we could have when reading its name and it is a very nice end of summer soundtrack, which gives a most welcome feeling of peace. The different experimental elements, with the synths, create a spacey atmosphere, while the warm piano notes and samples provide the "love" touch. It is also the kind of track that calls for a replay (or two, or three...). Love Story is available on a name your price basis, but support is recommended and always appreciated.
